Jesau Church

Former pulpit altar

The Jesau Church was a Protestant church in Jesau , today Juschny, in the Prussian Eylau district in East Prussia .

history

Jesau was first mentioned in 1287. The church probably existed from the beginning and was responsible for some neighboring places. It may have been dedicated to the apostle James. In 1533 a Protestant pastor was named for the first time. In 1701 the building was burned down by a lightning strike. In 1726 a new church was built at a different location. In 1945 this was damaged and in the following period partially removed. Some walls still exist today.

Architecture and equipment

The building from 1726 was a single-nave plastered hall building with a wooden tower built in front. Inside there was a wooden flat beam ceiling.

The altar was probably made in 1673 by the Königsberg sculptor Johann Pfeffer . In the middle of the 18th century a new pulpit was built into a pulpit altar . A confessional may also have been made by Pfeffer. He carried portraits of the Prussian kings Friedrich Wilhelm III. and Friedrich Wilhelm IV. There were galleries on the long sides. An oil painting on the wall depicts the apostle James. The organ was installed in 1740. A bier was from 1777.

Structures

The Protestant pastors were initially subject to the inspection of the court preacher in Königsberg. The parish then belonged to the church district Preussisch Eylau of the church province of East Prussia in the church of the Old Prussian Union .
